Billy Slater's wife has hit out at the man who allegedly attacked her husband at a Manchester nightclub, saying the Kangaroos star could have been killed in the incident.

Slater was detained by police for several hours on Monday before being released without charge after he was involved in a fight in the northern English city, where Australia are based for the Rugby League World Cup.

I was waiting for ke to remind us of the presumption of innocence!

After reviewing CCTV footage of a scuffle outside a Manchester nightclub, police have determined that Slater was the victim who then acted in self-defence and has informed him of his right to press charges.

Although not a fan of billy the grub, I'm even less of a fan of 'drunken' bogans who cowardly king hit people.

Also not a fan of players representing my country out at 2.40am lining up for nightclubs!!! (wait till you win the world cup people, then go nuts!) - edit: He was going back inside for his jacket...that's why the guy thought he was pushing in and hit him.
